Hi Mark, Thank you for your reply, but could you explain more? For example, if I search a very hot key word (not a, or o ), and the tweet flow is 5000 tweets/min. Does this mean that I only be able to receive 2000tweets/min because the restriction? what about the other 3000 tweets? Will they be delayed or just discarded?
